There are some bugs that only happen when opening a new e10s window from a
non-e10s browser (the worst is that the Java plugin doesn't work, and will
cause crashes, if you try to open it in an e10s window of a non-e10s
browser). 75% of our nightly population has e10s enabled and we're hoping
to enable it for another 19% when we fix some accessibility issues. So it
didn't seem worth keeping.
